We are bringing our condition monitoring conference back in the Middle East and again in Belgium, Australia and the United States. These are conferences that bring together everyone who cares about detecting what is wrong with the machine and other types of equipment, determining what the root causes are, and ultimately improving reliability.

You’ll find real solutions to your specific problems

The vibration analysis industry is one of the most fragmented in the world, particularly across a continent as large as Asia.

We believe it is important for attendees to learn from the best so we make sure that our presenters and speakers are at the top of their game. But they don’t just talk at you.

Networking

The CBM Conference Middle East offers several networking opportunities to attendees, including two receptions complete with food and drink, and a main evening dinner that includes entertainment.
